RE: My New Webpage for PDML Submissions
Not bad Mitch. I like the colours. But I think you could get rid of some of the frames. I like the comments at the gallery page. I think I'd prefer some rearranging of the text. How about title first at a single line, text next, and then posted info? What do you intend to do when the page grows larger? Diving it into sub pages? One more suggestion is to add the text at the photo viewer page. Also get rid of the blue framing. It's a distraction IMO. One more suggestion is to make a link at view page leading to next picture. In PHP that's simple, just add a +1 routine. Guess you know how to do it, but if you need help, just ask. How do you add new pictures? Have you created an automated routine? I would love to see the files under the hood. Both PHP and MySQL.

Re: My New Webpage for PDML Submissions
Tim: Thanks for the input comments. You're the 2nd or 3rd one to mention the borders.I'm going to play around with them to see how things look. At first I didn't it would look right with light grey on medium grey, but I love it and it doesn't detract from the photo content (I originally had the text as red/scarlet). I also want to try re-arranging the data parts of each picture in the gallery (index). As the page grows larger??? H g. I haven't decided the details...yet. Possibly, by month. That would probably suffice for me. Or... I could display the gallery page in chunks of 5-6 photos and then recursively call the page with a different starting photo number. If I used the month idea I would probably incorporate it as a column in the SQL table so that I can do specific selects . I would then add a month drop down select list on the top level PDML page. I'd have to think about it... I forgot to get rid of the link borders. You're right Title and Text would be appropriate on the viewer page, and with the wonders of SQL... Navigation controls are on the list. I would like to figure out a way to figure out what the referring page was, dynamically. I can't find any PHP variables (Globals, etc.) that would let me determine from whenceI came. I could store the HOST and PHP_SELF in session variables and grab them, but for that to be effective every page that called the viewer would have to know to set these variables. Why do this? I could then have a generic go back nav control and go back to a PESO, GESO or PAW gallery or any other page dynamically. I have the flexibility to call the viewer or gallery page and request the photo(s) to display from any page or email by sending a GET request with the appropriate variables set. Ann sent me some comments and included a comment on one of the photos. All she had to do was put in the comment and include a link with the variables and she sent me back to my own photo using my viewer. Kinda cool. I also do this with the gallery page. If I send a GET request with the urlphotos=photo1,photo2,...photoN variable set, the gallery will only contain those photos. Ah, the wonders of the WHERE...IN... clause of the SELECT statement! You'll see it in the code, I conditionally build the SELECT statement and let MySQL give me the specific photos. To add new photos right now, I create the thumbnail, web friendly and full size photos and copy them to the web folder. I then add the entries to the SQL tables (2). The PHP takes care of the pages. I like the fact that I can transfer photos and the page doesn't see them until I add them in SQL. I might consider doing some Admin pages. I did the Admin pages for a Jokes page that I was maintaining. I created forms to add text, picture, audio and video jokes. As part of that process I did an upload page. I also did some Admin pages for a local realtor that also included functions that automatically created thumbnail and medium sized versions of the photos that she uploaded. I might go pillage that code and do a couple of Admin pages for this site. I'll send the PHP code and MySQL dump info to your email. I don't want to clutter the list...

I'm on ADSL/broadband so I can't help you with performance questions. The layout is nice. The colors you're using for text, borders, etc are terrible. Red text against middle gray is hard to read and could be invisible to anyone who is red-green colorblind. I'm not so fond of having everything have borders, stylistically. I'd turn borders off.

Re: My New Webpage for PDML Submissions
You're welcome, happy to help. I color balance and set tonal curves for my photos to work with white mattes, which is one of the reasons I use white surrounds with a thin black/white border trim on my website (http://www.gdgphoto.com). It's most important that you balance your renderings for the kind of surround you want to use. - A black surrounding matte brightens/raises apparent contrast of the photo. It can make a slightly dull photo look snappier, and conversely makes contrasty photos more difficult to see. - A white surround will darken/reduce the apparent contrast. I feel it gives the most options in adjustment as usually I'm dealing with too much contrast rather than too little. I can almost always raise contrast as needed. - A colored surround is very risky on web pages due to the wide variation in monitor calibrations and gamut. Colored surrounds can compete with BW and color images. - A light gray (~75%, not 50%) surround is probably the simplest to work with, and on that 20-30% gray text/border lines are easily read and look nice. The inverse is also true: a 30-35% gray surround and 70-80% white text/adornments are also easy to work with and easy on the eyes. I have a testview image file that you can use to see what the different surrounds and text settings mentioned above do to two standard photos, one BW and one color. It is about 300K and is 2000x2000 pixels, which means you can download it and then scroll it around on your screen to see how the effect of the surround and text influence the perception of color and BW images. http://homepage.mac.com/godders/testview.jpg Godfrey On Sep 22, 2006, at 8:43 AM, Mitch Conant wrote: Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the feedback on the load times...we are an impatient lot g. Welcome to the Broadband world! Once you're on high speed, you can never go back!
